The last UK EPP maker closed a couple of years ago, as far as i know Phoenix Models brought up what was left. I guess hes now run out of that stock and has to import but he might sell you some blocks. be warned tho, its a pain in the ass to cut, it melts and sticks to your hot wire like nothing else

Thanks, phillybaby for the reply - I'll contact Phoenix Models.
Do you know of any alternative foams that provide similar characteristics to EPP yet are easier to work with?
Thanks again.

Richard

theres EPE, white closed cell foam, i did cut a Spitfire fuz from it, but its the same to hotwire as EPP, maybe slightly better, but its stressed, and will twist after cutting
